FOUND: A pair of vintage vessels from the former Czechoslovakia. Each is a perfectly preserved example of the military-issue beverage bottles issued by this Eastern-bloc nation. Wool covers insulate what's inside, naturally keeping warm drinks warm and cold ones cold.

Czech Military Surplus Vintage Wool-Covered Canteens, 2 Pack, New is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 28.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Joey from One great another not so muchOne of my canteens was awesome the other looked like it got run over by a truck. Not worth the return price so I'll just keep them

Rated 4 out of 5 by Gabe from CollectorI collect MilSurp canteens (lightly... i'm no treasure hunter) and these are a great addiction. As advertised you get 2 for under $20. Good, one I can use and one for the shelf. Mine came disassembled (canteen and cap, cover, straps) and it was easy to put them back together.Leather, wool, and aluminum. Back side of canteen is flat to facilitate laying it down and it don't wobble about.Used and needed some cleaning. I have not looked up dates and stamps or anything to gather any provenance. That said these are pretty neat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jw_ohwell from Great value on new canteensAs advertised these are new canteens that have been stored. I love the wool covers and like the stoppers better than a screw lid, so far they seal great and I think they will continue to do so in the future. They drinking cap on my Czech gas masks fits these canteens perfectly.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Erin from good conditionsome of the best used canteens i bought from the guide. Inside was very clean- spot free- no water damage or storage damage. felt cover and leather strap was in VG condition. outside of the canteen had some wear to it- missing paint- scrapes in G condition. The two i received had the plastic caps, i was very happy about this.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bill from Good price..............BUT..............The products were NOT identical ~ they had different stoppers. Then, it tooksoaking the covers and stretching them to get them snapped ~ four on onebut only three on the other. They should be delivered as shown in the display~with the cover already on the jug and NOT separate. Recommend ? Thatdepends on what you expect!

Rated 5 out of 5 by wild bill from good valueboth canteens were in good shape, one had a minor dent. the leather harnesses one was all but new the other a bit worn but fully serviceable. the wool covers were both brand new. they are very tight when new. just soak them in warm water with some hair conditioner like one of the other reviews stated. works great and form fits the covers. all in all a good deal.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Michael K from 2 New Vintage Military Surplus Wool-covered Czech CanteensOverall a good purchase for surplus canteens. Although advertised as new, one was newer with a rubber stopper and the other was used (and pretty well beat up) with a cork stopper. The wool covers and leather harnesses appeared to be in new condition. It took a lot of effort and stretching to get the wool covers snapped closed. Maybe wetting them first would help? With a good cleaning, the newer one could probably be used, but I wouldn't even try to make use of the used one with the cork stopper. It's just too funky, but good as a collectible piece.
